Spokane boasts large venues that draw headliners to the region. The Numerica Veterans Arena is the largest year-round indoor venue. The Gesa Credit Union Pavilion in Riverfront Park, home to a summer concert series, is a gorgeous, open-air venue that offers sweeping views of the Spokane River, a dazzling LED light display, and a tiered landscape allowing everyone to see the massive stage. The BECU Live! Outdoor Concert Venue at Northern Quest Resort & Casino is another favorite major venue with performances from late May through early October.

Spokane's midsize music venues offer an incredible array of talented performers. The Knitting Factory is in the heart of downtown and is famous for great acts and a good time. Spokane Live! at Spokane Tribe Casino Resort in Airway Heights is one of the region's newest state-of-the-art venues. Arbor Crest Wine Cellars summer concert series takes place in their sprawling gardens overlooking Spokane and Spokane Valley.

If you prefer to listen to great music in a smaller space with a unique vibe and charm, Spokane has many locations to choose from. Cozy in and listen to Jazz or acoustic guitar at The Hamilton Studio Listening Room or Barrister Winery. The Big Dipper and Baby Bar/Neato Burrito host local and touring alternative and original artists. Zola and nYne are two great choices when you want good food, beverages and a night of dancing.
